the difference between the ages of two sisters is 10 years. Fifteen years ago their ages were in the ratio 2:1. find the ratio of their ages 15years hence​

Answer»

Given :

To Find :

  • Ratio of their ages after 15 years .

Solution :

\longmapsto\tt{Let\:the\:Age\:of\:sister\:A=x}

\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:sister\:B=x+10}

Before 15 years :

\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Sister\:A=x-15}

\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Sister\:B=x+10-15=x-5}

A.T.Q :

\longmapsto\tt{\dfrac{x-5}{x-15}=\dfrac{2}{1}}

\longmapsto\tt{1(x-5)=2(x-15)}

\longmapsto\tt{x-5=2x-30}

\longmapsto\tt{x-2x=-30+5}

\longmapsto\tt{-x=-25}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{x=25}

Value of x is 25 ..

Therefore :

\longmapsto\tt{Present\:Age\:of\:Sister\:A=x}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{25\:yrs}

\longmapsto\tt{Present\:Age\:of\:Sister\:B=25+10}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{35\:yrs}

Now ,

After 15 years :

\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Sister\:A=25+15}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{40\:yrs}

\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Sister\:B=35+15}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{50\:yrs}

Ratio :

\longmapsto\tt{\dfrac{5{\not{0}}}{4{\not{0}}}}

\longmapsto\tt\bf{\dfrac{5}{4}}

So , The Ratio is 5:4 ...
